I am looking to use a workflow to move documents within a document library to a specific folder in the same document library (this to manage access rights on different documents via the libraries). Could anyone advise how I can setup a workflow to move a document to a folder? I expected this to work similar as moving documents between document libraries, but it appears to be more complex.
Appreciate your input.
I found the solution myself and thought I would share the solution in case someone else encounters a similar challenge.
By using the "Update Item" functionality in SPD you can assign the name of the folder to which you would like to move the document in the "Path and Name" field, simply by adding the foldername before the name of the file. (e.g. in my example the name of the folder was "General" and the value for the "Path and Name" field is General/[%Current Item:Name%] )
By using conditions files will be saved to different folders based on meta-data assigned to the documents, and access rights are determined on the different folders to which the files are routed.
This works perfect. Just make sure you add the entire path of the folder if is not the root folder. Ex: General/May/Working and want to move General/May/Sent you need to make sure you add the entire path General/May/Sent[%Current Item:Name%]. You can take the path using Server Relative URL in Current item. use substring is you need to trim it down.
I know it is an old post but maybe it will help somebody.
